We all want our children to accept Jesus for their salvation! But before they can know about salvation we must teach them about God.
All men are born with the knowledge of God written in their heart [Proverbs 14:1, Romans 2:14-16].

Since the same heart that knows there is a God also contains sin, the knowledge of God must be cultivated to become knowing God.
People do not know who He is without being taught. Yes, if a lost man seeks for God, God will not hide himself [Jeremiah 29:13]. But that does not preclude our responsibility as parents.
